Some misinterpretation here.
Obviously I wasn't suggesting that kids get given games when they're ready. That's just moronic.
The point I was making is that we haven't had many kids earn games over the last couple of years when rival teams have seemed to have quality kids force a few of the senior boys out. It's not about playing young ones for the sake of it, it's about have kids that demand it.
I'm not suggesting it's easy for them to push out senior players from a top 4 team, but clubs like Geelong do seem to find a few.
